About Brooke

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and trauma-related difficulties. Brooke emphasizes practical steps that can help someone manage day-to-day life more easily and build on what already works for them.
Brooke uses a trauma-informed lens and pays close attention to how the body and mind interact. She notices bodily sensations that come up with thoughts and memories and uses that information to guide sessions. This approach helps people move through difficult feelings with more ease and self-awareness.
Mindfulness and self-compassion are regular parts of her work. Brooke introduces short, accessible practices that can reduce distress and improve resilience. She helps people see strengths that are easy to miss when negative beliefs narrow their view.
Brooke takes a collaborative stance. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them explore choices and next steps. The focus is on building meaning, managing change, and increasing capacity to cope in everyday situations.
Brooke brings 12 years of clinical experience and holds an Oregon LCSW and a Utah LCSW. Her background includes work with trauma, life transitions, grief, chronic illness concerns, and multicultural issues. Sessions are conducted in English and are designed to match each person's goals and pace.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and to themselves, which can clarify relationship struggles and intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and pace, using empathic listening and reflection to help people feel understood and decide what changes matter most. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their intensity through guided processing and bilateral stimulation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brooke collaborates with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful based on their goals, history, and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time to match progress and comfort.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments into a workday, avoid travel time, or use different session lengths for brief check-ins. Online conversations also let a person bring mindfulness practices and body-awareness techniques into their usual routines, which can make daily coping more practical.
